NBC-Universal announced on Thursday its final executive structure under its expected new owner, Comcast, which as TheWrap first reported features several division heads reporting directly to peacock-in-chief Steve Burke, the Comcast COO who will become the chief executive at NBC-Universal.

The new breakdown puts Bob Greenblatt and Ted Harbert at the head of the company but with more than a half-dozen additional direct reports to Burke. As TheWrap previously reported, NBCU President Jeff Zucker will leave, as will Jeff Gaspin, Zucker's chief spokeswoman, Allison Golllust, and ad sales chief Mike Pilot.

As expected, Ron Meyer will continue as President and COO, Universal Studios. Adam Fogelson will continue as Chairman, Universal Pictures.

Here is the official line-up:

* Ted Harbert will join NBC Universal from Comcast as chairman, NBC Broadcasting. He will be responsible for advertising sales, NBC affiliate relations, research, domestic syndication and the NBC station group.

* Bob Greenblatt, recently president of entertainment at Showtime, will become the chairman of NBC Entertainment, handling prime time and late night programming, business affairs, West Coast research, marketing, public relations, scheduling and NBC Universal Media Studios. Marc Graboff and Angela Bromstad will report to him.

*Lauren Zalaznick, president of NBC Universal Women and Lifestyles, will become president of NBC Universal Entertainment and Digital Networks and Integrated Media. Bravo, Oxygen, and iVillage will continue reporting to her. So will the Integrated Strategic Marketing Group, which handles such initiatives as Green Is Universal, Healthy at NBC Universal and Women at NBC Universal

*Dave Cassaro will become president of Cable Advertising Sales, reporting to Hammer and Zalaznick *Jeff Shell, who now runs the Comcast programming group (including Ted Harbert’s E!), will become chairman of NBC Universal International, based in London

* Patricia Fili-Krushel, currently executive vice president of administration at Time-Warner, will join NBC Universal as executive vice president with several functions reporting to her, including media works, business strategy, human resources and legal

* Matt Bond, content acquisition head at Comcast, will take over distribution at NBCU. Bridget Bakerand JB Perrette will report to Boind.

Burke said those name would fill their new roles once the deal with Comcast closes, which is expected to happen by early next year.

"We are beginning our leadership announcements now because with the anticipated close of the deal nearing, we want to give everyone enough time to begin to think about the specific opportunities and challenges they will face beginning the day of the close," he said in a news release. "This is particularly true for areas that have transition work to complete before we close. While new roles won't be effective until the deal closes, and while there will be more announcements to come, it is important that we are prepared to hit the ground running.

As previously reported, Jeff Gaspin has resigned as president of NBC Universal Television Entertainment, citing the lack of a role for him under the restructuring. Mike Pilot is leaving the company, as is Alison Gollust, who is closely associated with Jeff Zucker, who has previously announced his departure.

Tom Williams will remain in charge of Universal Parks and Resorts. Meyer, Fogelson and Williams are thus safe for the moment, but will have to improve their performance by the middle of next year, insiders say.

The full release, from Burke:

For nearly a year, we have worked hard to identify people from NBC Universal, Comcast and outside the two companies to form our new leadership team when the deal closes. Our goal has been to find people who have the skill sets we need to succeed and who reflect the values that will be the hallmark of NBC Universal, including teamwork, integrity, creativity and a commitment to treating people the right way.

We have also been very focused on putting in place the best possible organizational structure. To that end, we have created some new positions, changed the scope of others, and shifted some reporting assignments. We think we’ve developed a structure that organizes the company in the smartest way possible.

We are beginning our leadership announcements now because with the anticipated close of the deal nearing, we want to give everyone enough time to begin to think about the specific opportunities and challenges they will face beginning the day of the close. This is particularly true for areas that have transition work to complete before we close. While new roles won't be effective until the deal closes, and while there will be more announcements to come, it is important that we are prepared to hit the ground running.

To that end, I am pleased to make the following initial announcements of members of the new NBC Universal senior management team:

Jeff Gaspin, Mike Pilot and Allison Gollust will be leaving NBC Universal at the close of the transaction. These transitions are often difficult and at times people who have made great contributions end up leaving. I want to thank them for their hard work and professionalism throughout the transition planning process.

The team described above will not begin to operate the company until after the transaction closes, which will occur following regulatory approval. Between now and then, each business will continue to be managed by its respective leadership team, and NBC Universal will continue to be led by Jeff Zucker, whose talent, hard work and commitment have been instrumental in building NBC Universal into the company it is today.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at NBC Universal and the Comcast Programming Group for your continued patience, hard work and focus. While this announcement provides some clarity to some roles and responsibilities, it is only the first in what will be a series of milestones as we move into 2011.

I hope you are as excited as I am by the prospect of what we can accomplish together in the future.
